Brent Crude Oil: The spot-month contract closed at $49.56, up $1.19 on the monthly chart. The major (long-term) trend remains sideways as the spot-month contract continues to consolidate within August's range from $54.32 to $42.23. Monthly stochastics are below the oversold level of 20% but still not indicating a move toward establishing a bullish crossover.

Crude Oil: The spot-month contract closed at $46.59, up $1.50 on the monthly chart. October saw the spot-month contract post a bullish outside month, trading outside the September trading range before closing higher. While this looks to be a possible move to a major (long-term) uptrend the pattern was not confirmed by a bullish crossover in monthly stochastics. If no confirmation is seen in November, the major trend would still be considered sideways.
